Provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation for the federal old-age, survivor's and disability insurance segments of the Social Security program.
Effective January 1, 2010, the taxable wage base in Louisiana will be $7,700, up from $7,000 in 2009. Currently, the amount of remuneration subject to unemployment insurance taxes depends on the applied trust fund range in effect. In other words, the standard wage base of $8,500 is adjusted depending on upward or downward trends of the trust fund range. As a result, the wage base may be $7,000, $7,700 or $8,500, depending on the trust fund balance (LDOL Communication).
